1. Regulate body fat
In addition to their gentle effect on blood sugar levels, white beans may provide weight loss benefits due their ability to produce alpha-amylase inhibitors. Alpha-amylase inhibitors are known to slow the absorption of carbohydrates (and thus the storage of energy as body fat) by inhibiting enzymes responsible for cutting starches into simpler sugars.
2. Antioxidants supply
White beans deliver a healthy supply of antioxidants, substances that fight off disease and help maintain optimum health. Antioxidants are believed to protect the cells in your body from free radicals, unstable molecules that damage cells. Ultimately, the damage caused by free radicals can result in many chronic conditions and degenerative diseases including certain types of cancer, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, arthritis, heart disease, immune system problems, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia.
3. Adequate source of magnesium
Magnesium maintains the electrical potential across nerve and muscle membranes, and it helps you handle stress better. It is also necessary for healthy bones.
4. Ample amount of fiber
Daily, women should be consuming 25 grams and men, 38 grams. That seems like a lot of fiber! However, white beans contain 11 grams of fiber per 1-cup of cooked beans. That is pretty impressive. A diet high in fiber is said to maintain bowel health, lowers cholesterol levels and helps in achieving a healthy weight
